Double Down or Die Trying

[Verse 1]
Lace up my doubts like worn-out boots
Sweat on the floor
Ghosts in my roots
Clock ticking loud like a loaded gun
World going down
But I ain’t done
Steel in my lungs
Gravel in my throat
Carved my regrets in a motel note
Heart says "rise"
Fear says "hide"
I put both voices on the same barbell side
[Chorus]
I’m gambling with fate on this last rep (one more time)
Push or break
Win or wreck my neck
I can fall with the world or stand up fighting
Either way I’m all in
All in
I can follow my heart or die lying
So I double down or die trying
[Verse 2]
News in the corner screams collapse
Sirens sing dirges over rusted maps
But my pulse keeps beating like a rebel drum
Every drop of pain says "here I come"
Every plate I rack is a crooked prayer
Every breath I steal from the poisoned air
If the sky burns out and the deals go bad
I’ll still chase the good in the wreck I had
[Chorus]
I’m gambling with fate on this last rep (one more time)
Push or break
Win or wreck my neck
I can fall with the world or stand up fighting
Either way I’m all in
All in
I can follow my heart or die lying
So I double down or die trying
[Bridge]
If this is the end
Let it end on my terms
Back straight
Blood warm
Muscles that burn
If the house takes all
Let it take me spent
Heart on the table
Every doubt I bent (yeah)
[Chorus]
I’m gambling with fate on this last rep (one more time)
Push or break
Win or wreck my neck
I can fall with the world or stand up fighting
Either way I’m all in
All in
I can follow my heart or die lying
So I double down or die trying

rock, Alt-country grit colliding with alt-metal crunch: twangy baritone guitar and slide over a half-time stomp that explodes into detuned, palm-muted riffs. Male vocals start low and dusty, then soar with raspy harmonies in the chorus. Big, driving toms and saturated bass push a workout-friendly pace; breakdown bridge drops to a haunted, reverb-soaked hush before a final, full-throttle chorus., country rock, motivation, alternative metal, world, country, workout
